    Holidays - what do you do for co-workers?

    ceecel.dee replied to lovesmarissa's topic in General Nursing

    We do a cookie exchange before Christmas and there is usually a pot luck meal to share. Usually just a card with candy cane or something similar for the DON. Always used to do a "secret santa" kind of...

    Nurse's Rights? Is It Only Pt's Rights?

    ceecel.dee replied to wrkoutgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is how I think it should be handled too. Include the physician with the above in a family care conference. Set limits. Good

    STUDENTS: what do you want out of staff nurses? NURSES: vice versa....

    ceecel.dee replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    ceecel.dee replied to fat ankles's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry about the bad position you are in. How is it your fault that you are being paid what they are paying you? Is that why the others were suspended? It sounds like they are the ones who have your...

    Blow out at the desk, who was at fault? both share blame I think?

    ceecel.dee replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Totally empathize with this! Home care will be culture shock for you at first, but after that, you'll probably love the autonomy and pace. Good

    I really enjoy taking students. That said, I would like a slightly lighter load so that I can give that newbie adequate attention and a few extra bucks for the extra energy expenditure. And to the...

    Can anything be done about feeling like a waitress?

    ceecel.dee replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    We've got a coffee cart out in the lobby area with air pots of coffee and plates of cookies. It is replenished by the kitchen, so if 201's wife says "is there more coffee?", we can just say "we'll let...

    ceecel.dee replied to katie'sangel's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be very concerned about working in this situation. There must be a doctor who acts as chief of the hospice area. Speak to him about some of these concerns. Start with the basics, like suction...

    Nurses and Dysfunction?

    ceecel.dee replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    Be careful here; look out for yourself. It is imperitive to stand up for yourself, but know that whistle-blowers are seldom rewarded, even when it is obviously the right thing to do. Good

    ceecel.dee replied to new user's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I feel obligated to stop and help on the highway, at the game, in the mall if EMS is required. Just to get things going, and then to quietly walk away when those "on duty" arrive. It is mandated...
